Abstract:

This paper presents a study on air permeability and relative mass loss in abraded breathable-coated fabrics. The abrasion treatment of different structured samples as well as the outer and reverse sides of specimens was done on a Martindale tester, varying the number of abrasion cycles. Considerable attention was devoted to the importance of the coating and textile substrate abrasion. Trends in the relationships between the abrasion cycles and the above-mentioned properties of the coated fabrics are discussed. The results support the nonlinear function approach nonlinear function.
